Electricity prices

The A2 tariff is the standard residential tariff applied to private dwellings (houses, home units, flats, apartments) used solely for residential purposes. It offers customers the same flat rate energy charge regardless of where they live and which time of the day electricity is used.

The K2 tariff is applied to customers who use electricity partly for residential and partly for business purposes, who consume less than 160 megawatt hours per annum. 

Some examples include:

• commercial, industrial or general properties with a caretaker's residence attached, including churches, schools, shops, factories, police stations and post offices;
• private residences in which a room or suite of rooms is used for commercial purposes, such as a doctor's surgery, child-minding centre or real estate office; and
• farming properties where electricity for both the residence and other farm facilities, such as a shearing shed, irrigation pump or cold storage room is supplied through a single metered supply point.

If you live in Broome or Port Hedland you may be eligible for MyPower. MyPower is a new way to pay for electricity, which gives you more predictability and control over your bills. Click here for further information.

The C2 tariff is available to small voluntary and charitable organisations. 

You can apply for this tariff if in writing, providing evidence which clearly illustrates that the conditions set out in the Energy Operators (Regional Power Corporation) (Charges) By-Laws 2006 have been met. Examples include:

• Community clubs, such as Apex, Rotary and Lions;
• Youth groups, such as Scouts, Girls Brigade and YMCA;
• Non-profit groups, such as the Arts Council, Amnesty International and St Vincent De Paul;
• Non-profit accommodation, such as the Youth Crisis Centre; and
• Fire/rescue groups, such as the Volunteer Fire Brigade and Sea Rescue.

The D2 tariff is applied to charitable or benevolent organisations providing residential accommodation. With charitable accommodation, the number of additional residences is determined by dividing the total number of beds by five and rounding up to the next whole number. Examples include;

• Hostels for the aged, women's refuges and other emergency accommodation; and
• Homes for the aged which have a hostel as well as self-contained units, supplied through one point of supply. Where the hostel is supplied separately from the units, the hostel is eligible for the D2 tariff and the units are eligible for the residential A2 tariff.

*Where there is more than one domestic residence in the premises, this charge shall apply for each additional residence.  

The K2 tariff is applied to customers who use electricity partly for residential and partly for business purposes, who consume less than 160 megawatt hours per annum. 

Some examples include:

• commercial, industrial or general properties with a caretaker's residence attached, including churches, schools, shops, factories, police stations and post offices;
• private residences in which a room or suite of rooms is used for commercial purposes, such as a doctor's surgery, child-minding centre or real estate office; and
• farming properties where electricity for both the residence and other farm facilities, such as a shearing shed, irrigation pump or cold storage room is supplied through a single metered supply point.

The L2 tariff is applied to customers where electricity  is used for business purposes, with consumption up to  50 megawatt hours per annum (up to 137 units per day on average). 

The L4 tariff is applied to customers where the electricity is used for business purposes, with consumption of 50 megawatt hours or more per annum (greater than 137 units per day on average), and for customers who use electricity partly for residential and partly for business purposes, who consume more than 160 megawatt hours per annum.

New commercial customers should contact their local Horizon Power office to discuss their electricity needs and pricing.

This tariff is for State, Commonwealth and Foreign Government entities that are supplied from a regional non-interconnected system (NIS), in rural and remote areas across the Kimberley, Gascoyne Mid West, Goldfields Esperance regions and the Pilbara towns of Marble Bar, Nullagine and Onslow. 

Horizon Power customers within these areas pay the same price for their electricity, according to the tariff appropriate for their type of business.

On 1 July 2015 this tariff was removed from the Energy Operators (Regional Power Corporation) (Charges) By-laws 2006 which means Horizon Power is now responsible for setting this tariff rate. 

For customers consuming less than 160MWh per annum the current N2 tariff rate is displayed below.

For customers consuming greater than 160MWh per annum the current N2 tariff rate is displayed below.

This tariff is for State, Commonwealth and Foreign Government entities that are supplied from the North West Interconnected System (NWIS).

The NWIS is the system from which electricity generated from one or more of the power stations in Port Hedland or Karratha is supplied to customers in the Pilbara towns of Cossack, Karratha, Port Hedland, Point Samson, Roebourne and South Hedland.

On 1 July 2015 this tariff was removed from the Energy Operators (Regional Power Corporation) (Charges) By-laws 2006 which means Horizon Power is responsible for setting this tariff rate. Existing customer contracts will remain unchanged. 

For customers consuming less than 160MWh per annum the current P2 tariff rate is displayed below.

For customers consuming greater than 160MWh per annum the current P2 tariff rate is displayed below.

NWIS/Regional Caravan Parks

The State Government recognises that caravan parks in the North West Interconnected System (from Karratha to Port Hedland) and regional off-grid power systems may be disadvantaged if they are paying business tariffs higher than the residential tariff. As a result, Horizon Power has developed the Caravan Park Tariff Compensation Program. 

Please see below for more information about how the Scheme will affect you.
